Literally! When Charles Lindbergh set off in the Spirit of St. Louis to become the first person in history to be in New York one day and Paris the next, AC Spark Plug helped power the transatlantic 1930s journey that captured imaginations around the world. EEN O TE But there was more aviation history to be made, and we helped Amelia Earhart make it. The plane in which Earhart became the first woman pilot to fly solo across the Atlantic (in under 15 hours) 1940s featured AC spark plugs. N O TO The 1940s brought the challenging, threatening years of World War II, and both UMS and AC Spark Plug parts went to work for the Allied cause. We also took to the skies again, producing DELCO 1950s batteries for Navy planes. EETE ENSON Having helped secure a brighter future for all, we got to work building our own. United Motors Service branched out, and began providing sales, service and training for AC rebuilt fuel pumps, DELCO batteries, DELCO radio service parts, Saginaw 1960s recirculating-ball bumper jacks and more. OT O TS O But the space race was on, and we were proud parts of it. In fact, AC Spark Plug and Delco Electronics teams helped NASA develop the inertial guidance systems for the entire Apollo program that 1970s took the first Astronauts to the moon. NE ONTES We didn't stop there. Once man landed on the moon, he needed a way to explore it. So AC Spark Plug and DELCO (which General Motors united to form ACDelco), helped to create key components 1980s of the lunar rover vehicle used by Apollo 15 Astronauts. TE T T Back on solid ground, we kept our minds on science. With field resources deployed to support the aftermarket, service engineers were brought into the engineering of GM vehicles to ensure that 1990s ACDelco parts fit exactly like true GM Original Equipment should. SEEN E Then we made the most of solid ground by hitting the track, with ACDelco sponsoring multiple drivers in leading motorsports events throughout the last decade of the millennium. 2000s O T The new millennium brought new and exciting ways to connect; 2010s online commerce helped ACDelco expand its already extensive reach, with distribution across North America, Africa, and countries EE ON TE TE including Japan and India. And in 2016 we celebrated our 100th anniversary with a continued commitment to offering the latest in GM technological improvements and innovation as the true GM original Equipment parts brand.
